Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare in different injection techniques. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Is there a difference between the pain levels due to needle insertion in the injection made with the HST Technique, the ShotBlocker technique and the standard technique? - Is there a difference between the hematoma levels of the injection made with the HST Technique, the ShotBlocker technique and the standard technique? - Is there a difference between the comfort levels of the injection made with the HST Technique, ShotBlocker technique and standard technique? - Is there a difference between the satisfaction levels of the patients with the injection made with the HST Technique, ShotBlocker technique and standard technique? - Is there a difference between the injection fear levels of patients with HST Technique, ShotBlocker technique and standard technique?
To examine the effect of the Helfer skin tap technique and ShotBloker application on pain and fear experienced during intramuscular injection in children aged 6-12 in the pediatric emergency unit. It was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine its effect on fear. The population of the study will be children aged 6-12 years who applied to the Tarsus State Hospital, and Pediatric Emergency Clinic and the sample will be 177 children who will undergo intramuscular intervention and meet the criteria for inclusion in the study. In data collection; Data collection form, Wong-Baker Scale, and Child fear scale will be used. In order to examine the mean scores of pain and fear according to intramuscular administration techniques in children, appropriate tests will be used by making an analysis of conformity to normal distribution.
Acute and chronic non-cancer pain is a common healthcare problem locally and globally, leading to many inpatient admissions for poorly controlled pain. The World Health Organisation has declared that access to adequate pain control is a fundamental human right. Yet in our current practice, both acute and chronic non-cancer pain remain poorly controlled. There is passive over-reliance on pharmacological agents and interventional procedures in the management of pain. The opioid epidemic with issues of dependence, misuse, and overdose is especially concerning. Therefore, there is a pertinent clinical need to find sustainable non-pharmacological adjuncts in the complex management of pain. Virtual reality (VR) involves the use of technology to create a three-dimensional multisensory artificial environment replacing real-world sensory inputs. Initially created solely for entertainment purposes, VR applications have since expanded and made its way into healthcare. In Pain Medicine, the application of VR has been promising. There is currently no VR study done in our local population who suffer from pain issues. In our study, we aim to test the feasibility of applying the use of VR in patients admitted inpatient due to pain issues. We believe that VR can be used as an adjunctive tool improve pain management and patient satisfaction.
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of white noise and therapeutic touch on pain in newborn heel blood collection.Questions including the sex of the newborns, postnatal age, gestational age, birth weight, height, head and chest circumference, feeding style, nutritional status in the last half hour, and previous heel blood collection were collected with the "Information Form".The Newborn Infant Pain Scale (NIPS) was used to evaluate the pain levels of newborns.
Background: There is scarce literature investigating how patients dispose of unused opioid supplies after their cesarean postoperative pain has faded. The Office of the Surgeon General has identified research on the prevention of opioid use disorder area as well as research on the management of pain as a "Surgeon General Priority" that needs urgent investigation. Hypothesis: At least 33% of postpartum women discharged home with an opioid prescription and a drug deactivation pouch will use the pouch to dispose of remaining opioids within 30 days of delivery. Methods: This is a prospective single arm interventional pilot study.
New chronic pain and opioid use are reported as prevalent among adolescents undergoing major surgery; many unanswered questions remain regarding recovery and the anticipated pain trajectory across procedures and the interaction between pain treatment, acute inflammation and new chronic pain. Broadly, the proposed study will characterize the adolescent's postoperative recovery experience, and establish the anticipated pain trajectory across a range of procedures.
Purpose. It has been demonstrated clearly that sucrose solutions given before a minor painful procedure can reduce pain among newborns. But, there are no entirely accepted conclusions about the time scheduling of sucrose administration prior to heel lance. In a few studies, various time intervals between sucrose intake and heel lance procedure have been proposed. The aim of this study was to obtain a deeper knowledge of the underlying mechanism by investigating whether a different initiation of heel lance in terms of timing would reduce the effect of orally administered sucrose at heel lance among preterm newborns. Methods. A randomized, double-blind trial with a validated, neonatal, pain-scoring scale in Gulhane Medical School Hospital in Ankara, Turkey between March 2019 and January 2021. The trial included 69 preterm newborns undergoing heel lance, who were assigned randomly to 1 of 2 groups, ie, group I, with the 2-minute-time interval of per oral 24% sucrose given prior to heel lance or group II, without a time interval of per oral sucrose given prior to heel lance. Pain-related behavior during blood sampling was measured with the Premature Infants Pain Profile-Revised (PIPP-R). Crying incidence, duration, and heart rate were also recorded. The aim of this study was to help to clarify the mechanism underlying the pain-reducing effect of orally administered sucrose by attempting to determine whether elimination of the time interval prior to heel lance would reduce the effect of oral sucrose among preterm newborns. Investigators hypothesized that there would be a significant difference in pain intensity without a waiting period after sucrose ingestion, measured at 30 and 60 s following heel lance using PIPP-R, and adverse events would be higher.
Children experience numerous painful experiences from nursing procedures: peripheral venous access placement is the main cause of procedural pain. As much as pharmacological and nonpharmacological tools are known, their application during venipuncture is not systematic by children's hospitals. Among pharmacological tools, the Equimolar Mixture of Nitrogen Protoxide and Oxygen (EMONO) provides adequate protection from procedural pain through inhalation of the gas mixture at least 3 minutes before the procedure. Literature reports that the combination of nonpharmacological distractive tools and pharmacological interventions increases their analgesic effect. The aim of the study is to measure children's cooperation during procedure (primary outcome), pain perception and side effects when EMONO is combined with audiovisuals compared with EMONO alone in peripheral venous access placement.
Pain is a public health challenge around the world. However, there is no single standardized measure of pain, to the point that the estimated prevalence of chronic pain in adults ranges between 2% and 64% depending on the methods and definitions used. Existing measures of pain are known to present several problems and results can be hardly compared between people. The investigators propose and empirically validate a new, simple method to measure experienced pain in clinical trials. The method provides an objective, cardinal measurement of experienced pain which is comparable between people and the investigators test whether it is better able to measure experienced pain than existing procedures. The investigators test the new method in healthy participants using standard protocols (electrical and heat stimuli). The investigators also aim to validate the measure using a causal manipulation which relies on the administration of a topical analgesic product compared to a placebo.
This study aims to measure the impact of an experimental pain on electromyography, kinematics of motion and motor cortical excitability.
